Big Data Beard has been publishing since 2017, and across the 3 years since has built a catalogue of 256 episodes, alongside 1 trailer or bonus episode. That works out to roughly 140 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a fortnightly cadence, with the show now in its 8th season.
Episodes typically run thirty-five to sixty minutes — most land between 29 min and 47 min — though episode length varies meaningfully from one episode to the next. None of the episodes are flagged explicit by the publisher. It is catalogued as a EN-US-language News show.
The catalogue appears to be on hiatus or wound down — the most recent episode landed 5.7 years ago, with no new episodes in over a year. The busiest year was 2019, with 108 episodes published.
